Soulshine

Newly opened café in Browns Bay. The first thing you notice is the retro styling. The owners have collected a great assortment of Formica tables with matching orange vinyl or fabric covered wire backed chairs. Spot the bean bags, Temuka pottery lining the shelves and those orange Tupperware containers we all had years ago! There’s a small selection of counter food to choose from if you’re just having coffee along with a brunch/​lunch blackboard menu. I ordered the popular daily special, a kale salad with lamb meatballs and a Thai dressing. At $ 15, it was a small serving and I was a bit underwhelmed. I did, however, enjoy my coffee and the raw snickers slice, which really did taste of peanuts.
